Dear St. Anthony, Please Help Me Find My Spouse

St. Raphael may be the best known patron saint for singles. This Catholic dating site is under his patronage. Others are noted too, including St. Nicholas and St. Agatha.

But today, the feast day of St. Anthony of Padua, that beloved finder of lost things, why not pray for his intercession in finding a spouse?

The National Catholic Reporter’s Gerelyn Hollingsworth has provided some insights on St. Anthony’s life. She describes him as a brave preacher, a compassionate confessor, an astute professor, a visionary and a friend of St. Francis of Assisi. Check it out.

A good Portuguese friend of mine told me many years ago that in Portugal St. Anthony is also a patron for those looking for spouses, since St. Anthony was born in Lisbon, Portugal, I believe that there is a shrine there for him. Ever since I was a young chica babe I’ve sought St. Anthony’s intercession on many things including finding a good and holy Catholic spouse (he’s a bit slow on the uptake but, I still love him) and have always promised that when it comes to my finding and marrying my spouse, we are coming to visit his final resting place in Padua, Italy. St. Anthony pray for us!!

I did pray that St.Anthony will help me find the spouse that I am praying for during his feast day last June 13…and it was at St Francis church..hopefully with two saints combined it is more powerful!!!!!! and soon…..

In Mexico many women hang his image upside down in hopes that he will help them find a husband. I had heard this story before and I believe that he, with the power of prayer and faith, will help us find the right partner for us. =)

On a pilgrimage to Europe to visit holy places, one of out stops was in Lisbon and we visited the shrine to St Anthony where there is a relic of him. You better believe I left my intentions for a Catholic husband in that grotto!

Last Sunday we celebrated Fathers Day and I went to visit a Church in Albany NY. The name of such church was Saint Anthony in honor to Saint Anthony of Padua. It was a beautiful experience, they have the story of St Antohony painted around the walls of the church and the subject that day was about Love. The songs were telling how love can heal a hurting heart and how love is everything . All that day connected to Love and it felt as it was Saint Anthony’s message. I always heard that people prayed to St Anthony to find a spouse but that day in church I felt the connection of the Love Saint Anthony through his life of love for Jesus and his teachings. I truly got so into his paintings and his life. A beautiful moment at church.

I couldn’t count the number of times in a given day that I call on Saint Anthony to find something . He has never let me down since I was a young child . Thats amazing when I think about it . And some of the things I even gave up on looking for and months later turned up in the most unbelievable places like the washing machine in an apartment complex , and months later finding my earrings .. so many times things turned up that didn’t make sense , which told me it had to be Saint Anthony !
I wonder where I should look for my future significant other .. He’s not in the washing machine I did laundry today . mmmm Well Saint Anthony I put it in your hands , please bless all of us with finding the person who is good for us . God bless all

A few months back I prayed for the first time to have a male companion to share fun times, meals, conversations, take walks with etc. A few weeks later I was talked into getting a puppy. I wanted a female.—-They only had a male left. My prayers had been answered. I will be more specific in the future.

St. Anthony, please help me find my Anthony whom I will always love. I believe he needs me now, please help me to find him or let him contact me. Please St. Anthony, where is Anthony? Let me find him today.

I lost my cell phone, haven’t seen it since last Thursday, and it’s Tuesday, everyone has been looking and we cant find it and I know its in my house somewhere but I dont know where. Please help me find it, I am scarred someone took it. :'(

Please St. Anthony I ask you to intervene on my behalf and help me to know if my good friend Alejandro could be my soul mate that I have looked so long for…..I implore you to show my a sign that I have found the right man, finally.
Amen
